Now that I am back in North America I am planning to assist companies looking to enter and succeed in global markets.

Hi Doug,
I have a list of books you can check out on my website at http://competitiveintelligence.ning.com/profiles/comment/show?attachedTo=1ex6t4gwjhv34&attachedToType=User&commentid=chatter-2036441%3AComment%3A15483&xgsi=1 and look for the Internet books.

For Brazil I have a good friend, Alfredo Passos: alfredop@kmchouse.com.br.

CI methods lead to analysis and deliverables that provide a company with actionable r...
Now, it seems that as if all CI practitioners were the "good ones", and PI practitioners "the evil ones". Then, (if we suppose that people in general have mostly good intentions and moral) why would "the World" (i.e. businesses or citizens) still ...
